I highly recommend Derek

Derek was amazing to work with, nothing was a problem, every phone call and email was answered in a timely manner. Derek took time to explain the land, introduce me to the seller to have an ongoing relationship.

Well organised and well managed.

We found Derek to be professional, available and supportive. His and his teams’s marketing skills and advice were very much appreciated by both of us. The sale process was managed very well for which we are grateful.

Dealing with Derek and his team, exceeded my expectations throughout the whole process.

When first meeting with Derek and Tracey I immediately felt at ease and was comfortable talking about my wishes for the sale process. They listened and guided me through what they thought was the best and most effective way of marketing my property. Also they eased my concerns about having open days. Their knowledge of the local market especially lifestyle blocks was a major factor in me selecting them. The fact that we received a firm offer within four days of the property being listed was totally amazing . They were very supportive throughout the whole process and particularly with discussions to meet the conditions of the offer. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Derek and Tracey to anyone looking to buy or sell a property in this area .

Professional, personable and a pleasure to work with - highly recommended!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Derek to sell our property, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the outset, he was professional, kind, and down to earth, making the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. He offered a thoughtful and strategic sales approach, giving us a range of options and tailoring the plan to suit our goals. He had a great eye for what made our property special and highlighted those features to make it stand out to buyers. His follow-up with potential buyers was thorough, and we really felt he went the extra mile to generate interest and maintain momentum. What truly set him apart was his clear, prompt communication - and his sense of humour! He patiently answered our (many!) questions, often with a dash of humour that helped ease any stress and kept us smiling through the process. Reliable, personable and incredibly knowledgeable, we highly recommend Derek to anyone selling their home. You'll be in great hands.

Great Service!

I recently worked with Derek at Kelly & Co. to sell my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. Derek was professional, attentive and knowledgeable. This level of care helped to make the entire process seamless and smooth, providing valuable and informative advice every step of the way. The marketing of my home was exceptional, and Derek was quick to respond to any questions I had. They kept me informed throughout the process and worked hard to achieve the best possible outcome. I believe that thanks to their expertise, local knowledge and genuine care, my home sold quickly and at a great price. I highly recommend Derek and his amazing team to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Their dedication and commitment to client satisfaction are truly unmatched. Thank you again for going the extra mile!

Derek was extremely professional while remaining real and in touch with me as the vendor. He followed my wishes with regards to the viewing of my property and gave honest and knowledgeable advice as to the best way forward while respecting my needs. This is the second time I have had Derek sell my home and both times he has made it very stress free.

Stress Free

Derek and his team did a superb job of selling my home in a very short time. Derek was efficient as well as empathetic as moving can sometimes be stressful. A great communicator and very up-to-date with all the stats of the Otaki area and surrounds. I really felt he had my back and no phone call went unanswered. There can be no better agent!
